Go back to ancient times to be a royal merchant

Facing his brother's somewhat shameless answer, Wang Xiubai didn't speak for a while, then sighed, he couldn't control his brother even more.Wang Xiujin shrugged his shoulders very calmly. The eldest brother thought too complicatedly. I didn't see him put a lot of gravel on the courtyard wall. Don't underestimate these gravel with edges and corners. Take it out, then put it into the iron pillar with a triangular head, and then pull up the barbed wire. It is absolutely impossible to enter their house without a trace, and you have to leave some souvenirs when you come in.

When talking to Zhao Si at that time, Zhao Si's eyes widened again. Although he didn't see anything, he felt that if he could get it out, he would definitely be able to prevent thieves.After getting along with Wang Xiujin for more than half a year, Zhao Si often wondered what Wang Xiujin was pretending to be, and why he always came up with something surprising, but felt "why didn't I think of it".Zhao Si found that Wang Xiujin was very thoughtful. Before the autumn harvest, a few beads from the seaside came to the grocery store. After Wang Xiujin saw it, he asked for a few. Sister Liu, the servant of his family, put on face.

Zhao Si felt strange, so he asked why. Wang Xiujin had never seen this product before. It could whiten skin, but he didn't know how to use it, so he tried it.Zhao Si didn't believe it at the time, and when he saw Sister Liu again after a few days, it was obvious that she was much paler than before, and she was no longer too ugly to look at directly.Zhao Si also felt strange, how could the same face change so much.Wang Xiujin quickly said, "The so-called one white to cover one hundred ugliness is suitable for Sister Liu." Hearing this, Zhao Si thought it was funny at first, but later he found it very reasonable, so he asked the shopkeeper Wu to give Wang Xiujin a silver ticket of 500 taels. Fang Zi, the beads sent from the sea will be ground into powder and sold to women in the future.

Zhao Xiujin took money as a matter of course, but shopkeeper Wu was very conflicted. 500 taels!The recipe that can be bought for two or 30 taels at most, but the young owner actually bought it for 500 taels. If he is lucky enough to see the owner in the future, he must report to the owner and ask the owner to teach the younger owner. Although the grocery store is profitable every year, it can I really can't stand the young master's prodigal family.

After the autumn plowing, the villagers noticed that the compound of Lao Liu’s family had been completed, and they couldn’t see the inside from the outside. Even naughty children dared not climb the high wall. The strongest and tallest villagers stood on the wall. The sides look very petite.A woman in the village said from a distance, "It's really a high-end courtyard. If you can live in it, what a glory it would be."

Recently, Wang Laoliu always walks from the old house to the new courtyard with his hands behind his back, stepping on the flat road, and looking at the tall buildings not far away. Wang Laoliu feels that it is okay to be dismissed by the new emperor. In the days of man, the youngest son is only eight years old now, and he can make him want to be prosperous. When he becomes an adult, what achievements should he have? Who would dare to disrespect him and marry a good wife... Thinking of this, Wang Laoliu thought of his little The fact that his son was accused of getting married, he hated his teeth so much, he just got complacent, and immediately changed his expression of resentment, he has been dismissed from office, and that old man Li still made a joke.

The house has been completely resettled, and the winter season is approaching. The provincial examination has been released. Wang Xiubai's grades are not high, but he has passed the provincial examination. He is about to leave for Xiangcheng to take the government examination. Only after passing the government examination can he enter Beijing qualifications.The family has already moved into the new courtyard, and before leaving, Wang Xiubai wanted to ask why Ming's house was built so luxuriously.

Wang Xiujin sat in the elder brother's room, drank a glass of water calmly, and then slowly opened his mouth to explain the cooperation between him and Zhao Si. This house is also a test product. , Jingzhong may have built a residential complex that is no worse than a house at home. "Fourth Brother Zhao will set off with Eldest Brother. He passes through Xiangcheng on the way. I have asked Fourth Brother Zhao to ask a grocery store in Xiangcheng to arrange a place for Elder Brother. If it's not that we can't leave at home, I will accompany Eldest Brother to let him go. Brother has confidence."

"Wu County is not far from Xiangcheng, and I'm not a child, so I don't need someone to accompany me." After listening to his brother's explanation, Wang Xiubo still felt that his brother had something to hide from him, but he thought that the house at home could not be broken into by anyone who wanted to. I am not worried about the safety of my family, but I am also afraid that some troublemakers in the city will use bad tactics to harm my family, and my face is full of worry.

"If the elder brother can go to high school, the family will have security. No matter how much money you have, it is better to have power." Wang Xiujin once again talked about this matter. No matter what era, the truth is the same. Money does not necessarily mean power. You have to be rich, but it is not difficult to make money.

"Compared to being a brother, Xiu Jin is more suitable for the imperial examination and to be an official." Wang Xiubai is very clear about his personality. He is very similar to his father, while his younger brother is like his mother. Although the mother looks gentle, she is very cunning. My father wanted to gain fame and spent a lot of money. How could his family live in the capital for so many years.His father didn't know people well, and when he was in trouble, none of his friends stepped forward for fear of being implicated by his father, even if he was in the dark, it would be considered kindness not to step on it.Over the past year, Wang Xiubai has experienced too much after returning to Wangcun from the capital city. The more he sees, the more he knows. In addition, his younger brother reminds him from time to time, which makes him understand more. He doesn't believe it. After his father left Beijing However, those father's so-called "friends" will not participate in this book, and if they have the opportunity to climb up to the holy family, how can they fall down.

"Brother joked about my younger brother. My younger brother is not good at studying. I don't see my father scolding my younger brother today. My head is full of copper." Take it as deafness, don't take it to heart.

"Father..." Wang Xiubai raised his head, and then let out a long sigh. Now, he is also thinking about how his father fell into the eyes of the late emperor, and how his family was changed again and again.Father is talented?Perhaps, otherwise, he would not have been able to enter the gate of Beijing directly, but he has never felt it. Qi Meng is a well-known gentleman in the capital, but not his father, and because of him, he missed the imperial examinations again and again, and wasted his time.

"It doesn't matter if you don't mention it. If you go to Xiangcheng, elder brother should bring a cotton coat. It's not as good as at home. You should take care of your health." Wang Xiujin changed the subject and didn't want to mention his father any more.When it came to the matter of elder brother going to Xiangcheng, Wang Xiujin was worried about letting elder brother go on the road alone, but it was not easy to find someone for a while, Wang Xiujin realized now that he was only suitable for making money, not a housekeeper.The only way to get rid of fourth brother Zhao is to ask the manager of Xiangcheng to take care of the eldest brother.

The fact that Wang Xiubo went to Xiangcheng to participate in the government examination has long been spread in Wangcun, and since the old six family moved into the new house, they have not seen them hold a banquet. There are already discussions in the village, but the village chief's family is keeping a low profile, let him say What?He is happy to see his great-grandson as if he grew up in Lao Liu's family, but the child's parents also miss their son.The village chief has been to the big house of Lao Liu's family twice. After entering, he was dumbfounded by the buildings inside, high-rise buildings, exquisite courtyards... other than beauty, the village chief couldn't find other words.

Hearing the woman in the village talking about the old Liu's family at this moment, the village chief snorted coldly, "You go to his house for a feast, are you going to pay a lot of money? Is it enough for a table? Let's talk Who in the village did they use to build the house? Where did the rule come from that when they move to a new house, they must invite someone to dinner?"

The woman was silenced by the village head, so she could only shut up embarrassingly, and left after a while.In addition to those who went to the yard on the grounds of the banquet, there were also some people who had other ideas. The old six family had announced early that the eldest son wanted the imperial examination and did not discuss marriage for the time being, and the younger son had already made an appointment. My daughter hasn't discussed marriage yet!Just looking at the courtyard of Lao Liu's family, marrying a daughter will not lose the dowry.Except for his daughter, the old sixth daughter-in-law has been hanging on medication, and she may not live long, and the sixth looks strong and strong, so she has to continue her strings no matter what!Even taking a concubine now is okay.Fortunately, the widow Liu in Lao Liu's family is ugly, otherwise she might have taken the opportunity.

Wang Xiujin didn't know that his father had already been missed. After sending his elder brother and Zhao Si away, he was busy discussing with his mother about hiring someone. What the family lacked most now was a housekeeper.Mrs. Wang thought of the previous stewards in the mansion, and couldn't help but think of the days in the capital again, feeling a few emotions in her heart.Finding a manager is not easy.Mrs. Wang asked Xiaoer to go to the official Yazi in the city to inquire first. If the family affairs are clean, honest and loyal, the most important thing is to hold the other party's contract of sale.

Regardless of the fact that Wang Xiujin has lived here for eight years, he still feels a little uncomfortable about prostitution. In fact, even if there is a deed of prostitution, can he really hold the other party in his hands?

It was a coincidence that a large family in Fucheng broke up. That family made their fortune from Wu County, and many of the servants in the mansion with the registered permanent residence were from Wu County. They were sent back to their original place. There were three The four in charge, Guan Yazi led Wang Xiujin to look.If it was the other eight-year-old child, Guan Ya would definitely not be so careful and enthusiastic, but whoever made Wang Xiujin famous in the city, Guan Ya would not be able to offend him.

Wang Xiujin carefully scrutinized the stewards elected by Guan Ya, each of them had a gorgeous "greedy" on their heads, and each one was larger than the other. Seeing this, how could Wang Xiujin dare to use it.Shaking his head at Guan Ya, Wang Xiujin showed dissatisfaction after several people were waved away by Guan Ya, "Could it be that the steward cheated on me because I was young? Those few people don't look very good." Arriving here, it is probably because the deed of sale is in the hands of the master, and the master gave the deed of sale to the government before returning to Wu County. Be a servant.

"There are still a few people who are honest and honest in appearance, but have never been stewards. Would you like to see?" The steward immediately recommended others, and made a mental note of those people.

Wang Xiujin was busy looking for a reliable housekeeper in the city, but he didn't know that something happened at home.
